From Nimtoli in 2010 to Armanitola in 2021, fire tragedies caused by hazardous chemicals took more than 200 lives in the last 11 years in Old Dhaka but the chemical warehouses are yet to be shifted from the crowded part of the city.
The government promised to shift the warehouses by June 2022 but now officials concerned are saying that it might take longer as the work of the chemical village project in Munshiganj could not make expected progress.
The chemical village project was supposed to be completed in June 2022 but with only one year in hand, only one-third of the project has been completed.
